Comfortable.
Place of residence that stood still in time. Kitchen and bathroom from the 70s. No air cooling with gale force winds if you open the windows. Apartment faces west and is very warm. Didn't like the place at all on the first day, but it grows on you. Very clean and safe. Bathroom stank of cigarette smoke.

The stay was pleasant, but there were also shortcomings.
The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke, had to report it twice. No cleaners are sent on weekends to make beds or wash dishes. The corridors are very old fashioned and do not match the room decor at all. Definitely demolish the place. There is no indication of where the stairs are and only two of the three lifts are in working condition. There is only someone at reception at certain times so nothing can be found or reported in the evening.

Would not recommend it.
We were surprised by the condition of the accommodation, what is shown in the photos is not at all what you get. The kitchen was dirty and the room had a horrible smell. We were also not at all comfortable leaving our valuables in the room as the security is poor (only a wooden door with a simple lock, no safe in the room). We only stayed there one of the 3 nights we booked and then decided to look for other accommodation the next morning. In the process we also lost money.

If you like climbing stairs, stay here.
The apartment itself was pretty neat and well furnished. We stayed 2 nights on different dates and had a view of the mountain and the city, both were very nice. The problem came in 1st at the elevator. It works then and sometimes. Luckily, upon our arrival, I decided to stay when my husband went to collect our luggage. Because when he came back, the elevators weren't working and someone was still stuck there too. He had to climb 7 floors! 1 of the 3 elevators does not work permanently and we used the "freight" elevator most of the time because it was the most reliable of the 2 that were left. The other elevator tried to cut you in half on the way in because the door just slammed shut and it was also the one most people got stuck in. You must also "validate" the parking ticket at the center's parking agent. So you have to walk and search. If I couldn't speak Afr or Eng I would have gotten lost.

Basic accommodation in outdated rooms.
The accommodation is ideal and centrally located. The rooms are quite small if you travel with children and have to put in an extra bed/mattress. The facilities are very outdated, from the elevators to the bathrooms. The kitchen is practically unusable with a very old oven and one power plug right above the sink facilities. A small fridge is available. The ventilation is poor, although one can open the sliding windows, but with no draft, except if one also opens the door to the corridor.

Definitely not value for money.
They have a problem with the elevator that does not stop on all floors if it goes off. Injured my knee because of climbing the stairs. There's also a permanent sour smell in the building because of dirty mops I think. My room had a very bad smell. You also don't have a feeling of safety in the evening because the centre closes the side entrance and you have to use the main entrance where all of the taxis wait.

It was good, good location and very nice beds, except for a safety and health risk.
We were stuck in the elevator upon arrival for about an hour and a half. Although there was a quick response when we pressed the panic button, we waited about half an hour for technicians to come out and there was no one from the staff or any services to meet us to make sure we were all safe and well not. It was not a pleasant experience and we were distressed. My sister almost passed out when we got out but we were on our own. The next day when I mentioned it at reception the lady just laughed and said that it happens often and that she and other staff have also been stuck and that it is not that bad. Well, unfortunately I disagree as it was traumatic for us and is a safety and health risk. I feel that the lady did not act right to take it for granted and no one inquired about our well being and was there. We wanted to cancel and look for another place to stay, but since it was already late and we were all very tired and it was rush hour, we decided to stay.

Good location. Close to MyCiti bus stops and most amenities. Apartments are old but comfortable.
A fan or air conditioner would be nice at this time of year. Maybe it would be a good idea to put coffee/tea/sugar and milk in apartment. I realize that this is self-catering, but if someone flies, you only bring the essentials with you and this definitely does not include coffee/tea. The bed is very comfortable and the apartment is comfortable.

Thanks but no thanks.
All that counts in Gardens Centre's favor is the view of Table Mountain and its location. There is no cooling of any type and if you sleep with the windows open, the noise from the street bothers you. Everything is very shabby and very old. The cabinets' wood is very old and bent. We decided to leave our clothes in our bags instead. The bathtub is very old and painted and shelled some time ago. The stove would do very well at an antique auction. When you walk in the door, you feel completely taken aback. The people at reception are very friendly and helpful and the choice of places to eat in the center is a plus. There is covered parking which is monitored by cameras.

It is, compared to the area, cheap accommodation, but one cannot expect too much...
The room furnishings do not at all reflect what appears in the photos. The kitchen equipment is stone cold and rusty and the oven is a safety risk. The one power plug was corroded and falling apart, but it was replaced very quickly after we reported it. The bath and shower are old and run down. Using the house bins was always a risk, because you never knew if the doors would open or not.
